A useful supplement
I heard about borax as a supplement only recently. I heard it is good for bones and joints and as it is cheap and taken only in small doses I decided to try it. After only a few days it made my knee joints feel stronger, and though I'm still trying to decide if it's helping me burn off some belly fat I do think as a supplement for bones and joints it does really work. Like anything else, though, be careful not to take too much or you can feel your kidneys as they expel it. For that reason many suggest you take it for five days then take a two-day rest so your body can expel any excess. Borax has many other household uses such as a water softener for a better laundry wash, or as a cleaner or detergent, so I have other things I have to try it with just yet.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Not Confident
I purchased this product for use that is not recommended i.e. Not for cleaning etc. I have no doubt it would be fine for the uses recommended on site . I also thought perhaps incorrectly that it would be boxed/ packaged in the usually seen Mule Team 20 packaging. This came in a polythene bag with a small sticker. This did not give me the confidence to use it as I wished hence my rating.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Borax - great for health.
Borax has many uses but I bought it for my health. It arrived on time in a sealed plastic bag/container and looks absolutely pure white. Google the health benefits for this product and learn something new. I use it every day and this is what I do: Buy 6 x 2lt bottles of drinking water from any food store. Use only one at a time. Open one bottle and using a teaspoon put in one tsp of borax and give it a shake. Drink half of this bottle during day 1 by sipping it several times. Finish the bottle on day 2 and if you think 1 tsp is too much then half it and find your personal best for you. Do not take more than 1 teaspoon per 2 litre bottle. Good health and read more about it on Ocean Clinic.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Work a Treat in making Slime
My granddaughter is seven and obsessed with making slime. So she pestered me to get Borax and eventually I gave in and got this Borax from ebay as it was reasonably priced for the quantity. We received it quite quickly and she is now very happy as the Borax works really well with PVA glue to make slime and she has made many different colours. You only need to mix a small pinch in a small amount of water and so the 1kg I bought will probably last a long time!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

great natural cleaner and health product
It appears to do everything it is supposed to do, sorry, I can't say much more about it than that. I use it to wash clothes, and my hair occasionally, and also I drink it in tiny amounts 2 or 4 times a week. It is regarded as a cure for joint pain and candida, and I have not experienced any nasty side-effects whatsoever.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent water softener.
I have suffered with Psoriasis for over 40 years, I was recommended to put a few grains in a glass of water and drink it once a day. It has improved my Psoriasis but it has not gone completely, I am tempted to put more Borax into the glass of water, but because it is a type of salt and too much salt is bad for you I will have to be more patient.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great for slime making!
My girls have been busy making slime ever since we got this. It is much better than using Almat or lens solution and so much cheaper as you only need a small amount.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
